Horecatrends | Tips for Culinary videos worth watching – week 18

In this video of Eater they show how gamers can order homemade traditional Korean food via their computer. Thus less prepackaged fast food.

A lunchroom that primarily focuses on Japanese style sandwiches, recently opened in Los Angeles. The concept is easy but catchy. For example, the entrepreneurs had to hire 8 extra people in the first week to make sure they could handle the demand. The menu is small but Instagram worthy and tastes even better than it looks…
